It's called namebench and will show you the best settings to use.

Did it! Indeed looks considerably faster! Will run more tests!
I did this last night and apparently the DNS Fios routes me too was the wrong one. Switched to their other one and everything loads immediately. Literally no hesitation. One guide is up immediately.
